 Subject: Cold Starting?

Message:
My 93 Dakota will only sputter when I try to start it in the mornings, yet it has no problem starting later in the day after it warms up. What could be the problem, I have changed the filter?

Do the early 90's dodges have cold start injectors? That could be part of the problem if it has one, but i'm not sure when dodge used them.

I have no idea if they are equipped with cold start adapters. All I know is the thing will not start in the morning but fires up immediately once the temperature outside warms up (Arkansas). After it starts it runs fine, no sputtering. When I changed the filter, I turned the key on to make sure the fuel pump was working and it shot gas out about 2 feet from the fuel line. But after hearing that the fuel pressure should be from 39 to 49 psi, how far should it have shot out? 5 or 6 feet?

Well, that didn't work. Still having a hard time starting even though the temperature outside is warming up in the mornings. Any other suggestions?

I'm having the exact same problem. I've already replaced all the vacuum lines and the problem still persists... my problem didn't begin until after I replaced the head gasket. Was there a resolution found? Looks like it didn't work for him...

i have an 87 carbed and this morning when I hopped in it and tried to pump the gas pedal it was really stiff. I tried to start the truck and it cranked really slow and wouldn't start. Later in the day I tried to start it and everything was fine and fired right up like it always does. Was the carb frozen or what was going on there?

power dist box under hood
get 1 new relay they are all the same
ASD, fuel pump
or take the A/C relay and change them around
if the problem is solved get 1 new relay
there is a mechanical contact in these relays and
they do go bad its just a set of contacts inside
they are activated by a small coil creating a
electro magnet to enguage them they can also go
bad
mark them so you know what you switched around
they are all identical 30 amp relays
